Restless Diary: Yellow-Yellow Rivers of Dreams (Book Review)
Restless Diary: Yellow-Yellow Rivers of Dreams (Book Review)

And so the other day, googling for Half of a Yellow Sun, I somehow came upon Kaine Agary’s Yellow-Yellow. I had never heard of Kaine Agary and the fact that the book was published in Nigeria by DTALKSHOP publishers aroused my interest. I have been trying without much success to learn about... Read more

One Woman's Jihad: Nana Asma'u Scholar and Scribe

Just got my copy of this today. Nana Asma'u (daughter of Usman Dan Fodio) was born in 1793 in what is now northern Nigeria. She wrote poetry (blood drenched and blood curdling at times - she saw the wars of the Sokoto Jihad firsthand), taught women and men in her community and created a network of

Book Review: Of Horsemen and Restless Journeys

After reading The Horsemen and other poems I can confidently say that Nwakanma can write what Amatoritsero Ede would call poetry. The brother can sing. If you remember Chris Okigbo you will love this little book of poetry. Christopher Okigbo’s influence is everywhere. Shades of Okigbo blanket the... Read more

Book Review: The Virgin of Flames by Chris Abani.
Book Review: The Virgin of Flames by Chris Abani.

Abani’s sense of unending despair swarms his stories and sometimes almost overwhelms their beauty. Joy is not a word in Abani’s world view. One thing about Abani is he is consistent. His latest book, The Virgin of Flames is not going to cheer you up. You finish reading the book feeling like you... Read more

This is a book that was reccommended to me by my brother-in-law. He had written a critical review for the book and suggested that I grab hold of a copy and read it. It made for amazing reading as it represented a brilliant sattyrical analogy for the country of Nigeria. For those of you who haven't f
